VS100/VSL100
DILO order No.: 3-690-R212
Ambient temperature: > 30 °C Lubricant recommended by Busch: VS 100
VS 100 is a synthetic oil and corresponds to the VC in accordance with DIN 51506. The viscosity class is
ISO VG 100 according to DIN 51 519.

flash point 265,0 °C
pour-point -48,0 °C
This viscosity corresponds to an oil of the SAE 30 class in accordance with the DIN 51511. This oil is
particularly used in case of higher suction temperatures or an ambient temperature exceeding +40°C
due to its good thermal properties.
